Bullshit AGAIN! They didn't start talking about "saving" jobs until they didn't create them! THEN they started using "jobs created or saved" as their go to stat because they didn't want to admit that they'd mishandled the stimulus so badly!
Lying con tool ... it was in their initial plan from before Obama was even president....
Do you ever stop lying, ya lyin' con tool?
Ever???
"We reach several key preliminary findings:
• A package in the range that the President-Elect has discussed is expected to create between three and four million jobs by the end of 2010.
• Tax cuts, especially temporary ones, and fiscal relief to the states are likely to create fewer jobs than direct increases in government purchases. However, because there is a limit on how much government investment can be carried out efficiently in a short time frame, and because tax cuts and state relief can be implemented quickly, they are crucial elements of any package aimed at easing economic distress quickly.
• Certain industries, such as construction and manufacturing, are likely to experience particularly strong job growth under a recovery package that includes an emphasis on infrastructure, energy, and school repair. But, the more general stimulative measures, such as a middle class tax cut and fiscal relief to the states, as well as the feedback effects of greater employment in key industries, mean that jobs are likely to be created in all sectors of the economy.
• More than 90 percent of the jobs created are likely to be in the private sector. Many of the government jobs are likely to be professionals whose jobs are saved from state and local budget cuts by state fiscal relief.
• A package is likely to create jobs paying a range of wages. It is also likely to move many workers from part-time to full-time work."
Yeah, they used that phrase once and then throughout the rest of their presentation they talked about the three to four MILLION jobs that they expected to CREATE by the end of 2010! So tell me why they STOPPED talking about the jobs that they CREATED, Faun and started exclusively talking about the jobs that they'd saved or created?
